If you want to have a sustainable oil source (that's not from animal fats) then consider growing and pressing your own seed and nut oils.
Join me with my guest Bevin Cohen from @SmallHouseFarm as we break down everything you need to know about pressing your own seed and nut oils.
We're clarifying the misinformation that all seed oils are unhealthy, as well as discussing the supplies needed to press your own oil and the sustainability of pressing enough oil for your family each year.

"Salad dressing" was invariably made by mashing hardboiled egg yolks into cream and vinegar with plenty of mustard powder, a little salt and sugar. "Dripping" was all fat saved from roasted meats, accumulated in a ceramic container, for all frying purposes, and spreading on bread as a special treat.

Also, nut butter made from the various seeds really gets my enthusiasm to a higher level. I'm frugal by nature and at 60 years old I fight the high cost of groceries and other needs. This is one more to add to my arsenal. I like the idea of a quality hand crank in case there are interruptions in the electrical grid.

You’re always one step ahead of most homestead families asking the hard questions that have to do with total, true independence. This makes me think of the skills our ancestors had. I often think of the knowledge they had that is now getting lost, but to them was everyday survival. We’ve come a long ways over the generations, but I can’t help but think we have lost some pretty vital skills along the way. Especially concerning nutrition and our everyday health and I often wonder, are we really better off?

I'm trying to do as many of these things now that I can. I'm happy we live somewhere where the stores are not open 24/7 few restaurants no fast food. You really must do things for yourself here.

Once we got lots of free surplus pumpkins, so much that we gave most of them to our two pigs. They started chasing the pumpkins that where rolling all around the pen. It was difficult to grab the round pumpkins, so we got some fun entertainment watching the pigs “play soccer “. 😆 Anyway, what the pigs finally did when they managed to secure a pumpkin in a corner, was to bite into it and push through to the center and eat the seeds. They left the flesh and went after the next pumpkin. The pumpkin pieces were then eaten last over the next few days …

@jeas4980 Жыл бұрын

This truly is a missing conversation... and perfect timing for it! Our meat monger (we only raise meat we can graze to harvest on our small property without grain: poultry, rabbit, sheep) is no longer selling lard by the box. So this is the perfect solution for our situation. I can raise a few pigs and turn a profit... I've done the math (1lb/3lb standard) and run the numbers; but, that's today's grain prices. There is just so much volatility in the commercial grain market, both with availability and pricing, that we've just opted out of participating by choosing meat producers that don't require grain. But, that was when we could get lard... now our lard is going to a larger buyer. So we were honestly considering leasing a parcel from a neighbor (we don't want to upset our closer neighbors with the smells and sounds of hog production on our smaller property) to raise 6 pigs. I don't want to. It would be a colossal pain in the rear end... traveling a half mile down the road to do pig chores twice a day, God only knows how much damage they could do if they got out before we got the news, setting up grain stations, moving hog pens... pain in the butt.. don't wanna do it. But THIS! Adding flowers and squash to the landscape...(twist my arm)... I live in the peanut capital of the world, seriously.... and I can produce my own seed oils regardless of the market availability. AND the biproducts are edible and livestock feed. This is perfect. Thank you so much!

DID she actually address linoleic acid (omega 6)? I was specifically listening for anything about this and didn’t hear it mentioned. I only heard them talk about the chemicals used in commercial production. Some health minded doctors say even the seeds are high in the linoleic acid and to be cautious of not consuming too many actual seeds. Is this dependent on the soil nutrient content? Or just seed dependent?

awesome video. I live in Oregon and we have 2 olive trees just planted this year. But I have to tell you this story. My sister in law was going to get me help because she thought that I was spending my days making my own olive oil. because one of my friends had given me some olive oil and I was storing it in a mason jar. I have to say I laughed at here. I couldn't help it. Anyway thank you for such a fantastic video

@hitthacienda Жыл бұрын

Great video. I’ve been thinking of this for a while. How to make our own oils? We raise pigs and harvest ourselves. I cut all the fat off and toss in a crockpot. After a few hours, I pour the liquid into a jar, with a paper towel on top, and allow to cool. A few hours later, a jar of lard and I store in the fridge. I use that led for cooking.

Oh wow, this is awesome! The seed oil conversation totally makes sense. I have a Piteba cold press mill but I've never used it yet because of the seed oil conversation. I bought it more for a SHTF/grid down scenario. I had no idea about pumpkin and butternut squash seed oil, I grow both of those! I'm totally growing black oil sunflowers next year! And oh my goodness, homemade toasted sesame seed oil would be heavenly! Thank you for the info!

Thank you for doing this one, Caroline. I bought a Piteba oil press in 2012 and tried it once to make flax seed oil. It was so hard. I used it once. But I got Bevan's book last month, to try this again. This interview motivates me to get some sunflower seeds and try again. Maybe flax was too hard (literally) as a first try. I hope you'll invite Bevan to teach in the School of Traditional Skills. I'd love to see a demonstration on oil making.

@@HomesteadingFamily I would love to give an oil pressing demo sometime! Sounds fun! And you're right.. flax seeds are very hard. It can be done by hand -once you get the momentum its much easier - but I recommend hooking the press up to a bicycle for these types of seeds!

Chris, what do you know about omega 6 content in these seeds? This is my concern that some health-minded doctors have been talking about for a few years- that seeds & seed oils are too high in omega 6 and throw your body out of balance with this.

@SmallHouseFarm 11 ай бұрын

@@jenbear8652 Hi Jen.. You can find Omega 6 in many foods including avocado, meats and eggs as well as seeds and nuts. Omega 6 are not bad for you, as you mentioned it's all about the ratio of Omega 6 to 3. Hemp Seed Oil has the perfect balance.. the same as the human body! The key here is too lower our Omega 6 intake.. but not by cutting out seed oils instead, instead we choose to cut out highly processed packaged foods which contain more Omega 6 acids than anything else we might consume.

You have made me consider sustainable oils other than animal fats in our homestead. I am in zn 8b N FL. I did some research and discovered 3 good Olive Tree varieties that will do well in our humidity on the East Coast. I have grown black oil sunflowers for years. I started that by just saving a handful of seeds from our bags we bought for our dairy goats at Tractor Supply. Every seed sprouted. I save some seeds from the sunflowers every year and replant them.
